'''Jorgen Weight''' (callsign: Jerkface)
== Appearance and Personality ==
Jorgen is tall, has brown skin and short curly hair, and according to Spensa, looks "distinctive in a kind of baby-faced, pretty-boy way."{{book ref|Skyward|8}} He has eyes that are deep brown with hints of light gray at the centers. {{book ref|Skyward|44}}
He is smart and has prepared for military all his life and is very diligent and hard working for it. {{book ref|Skyward|29}}
He is still learning how to become a natural leader but does care for his team and doing the right thing. {{book ref|Skyward|24}}
He feels trapped with the life choices that have been drawn for him by his family and is so responsible he will follow them even if it is not what he personally wants. {{book ref|Skyward|34}}
== History ==
Jorgen is the son of the Jeshua Weight, a hero of the Battle of Alta. She flew seven years in the DDF, and has over a hundred confirmed kills. Her husband is Algernon Weight, National Assembly Leader and high foreman of the largest intercavern shipping company. They’re among the most heavily merited people in the lower caverns. {{book ref|Skyward|8}}
Jorgen’s family owns three private fighters, and he has been training on them since he was fourteen. He has nearly a thousand hours in the cockpit. Because of this, not only did he have direct pass to Figthschool, but he was made fightleader. {{book ref|Skyward|8}}
Since the first day, Jorgen takes their training very seriously and tries to bully the team around to follow his orders. It was not well received by the team and brings [[Spensa]] to a defensive aggressive attitude. She gives him the Callsign of “Jerkface” which gets traction with the rest of the team. {{book ref|Skyward|9}}
During his first days and battles he leads the team with a cool head, however is very frustrated with the lack of respect he gets from his team; especially [[Spensa]] and refuses to use the Callsign of Jerkface. {{book ref|Skyward|11}} He tries to comfort the team by giving a speech after Bim and Morningtide died, which was not a very good one and probably taken off a book.{{book ref|Skyward|20}}
After that battle, [[Spensa]] finds him going over and over through the simulation of that battle, where he tries several times to save Morningtide. {{book ref|Skyward|29}}
He also continues to give advice to all his flight, even if they don’t always take it the right way. {{book ref|Skyward|25}}
In a later flight, Spensa's flightmate, Hurl, dies. She crashes because she was unwilling to eject. Spensa announces she will give her a proper pilot’s burial and is followed by Jorgen who takes her in his hovercar. He brought the materials for a funeral pyre. They recovered Hurl's pin to give to her parents and burned Hurl's body. He also helped [[Spensa]] taking the booster for her ship. [[Spin]] tells the rest of the crew about what they did for Hurl and Jorgen was better respected after that.{{book ref|Skyward|34}}
As their flight numbers lower, with the departure of Arturo, Nedd and Kimmalyn, they are asked to join with other fleets. This is the first time he has to use his callsing of Jerface. After the other crews try to call him for being “smug”, he gets the support from both [[FM]] and [[Spin]] who calls him a great fightleader.{{book ref|Skyward|47}}
Only Jorgen and FM from Skyward flight graduated. After a very short graduation, they were sent with the rest of the pilots to secure a falling shipyard which, if rescued, could give enough parts to build a winning fleet. This however was a trap and not only were they outnumbered in battle, but the city both of [[Alta]] and [[Igneous]] were unprotected, targeted for destruction.{{book ref|Skyward|47}}
He tried to return on time to save [[Spensa]] but he was too far away. He managed to survive the fight and is now full pilot of Alta. .{{book ref|Skyward|47}}
== Attributes and Abilities ==
Jorgen is a very good pilot. Not only because he has trained since being fourteen, but because he does like it and is very diligent on his training. He proves himself since their first flight at school. {{book ref|Skyward|9}}

He is able to keep calm and assess situations even under very tense battles, he does care and try to push his team to victory and safety. {{book ref|Skyward|19}}
He has studied the Krell and is curious and concerned on the military strategy of both sides. {{book ref|Skyward|41}}
== Relationships ==
=== Spensa ===
Jorgen was so eager to get the respect from his crew that he bullied the team around on the first days. [[Spensa]] on the other hand resented him for having it “easy”. As a result, there was constant rivalry between them in the beginning. Spensa was responsible of Jorgen’s Callsign: Jerkface which frustrates him. {{book ref|Skyward|9}}
During a “game” ran by Cobb in the simulation, Jorgen’s better flying techniques and strategy was about to earn him a win; however Spensa, who was up in the mark at that moment, crashed herself into him winning the game. He was so frustrated with her, he revealed to Skyward Flight that Spensa was the daughter of [[Chaser]]; which did alienate her from other members and provoking Spensa to steal the power source of Jorgen's hover car. {{book ref|Skyward|15}}
Spensa continues to challenge Jorgen’s authority and disobeys a direct order of formation. He calls in again on her father’s heritage and she assault him badly; though he complains about her insubordination again, he doesn’t attack her. {{book ref|Skyward|23}} Convinced that he would call on her, she goes to the Admiral’s office request disciplinary actions for her. Jorgen was there and avoided it from happening; letting her know his flight needed every pilot. {{book ref|Skyward|24}} After that she becomes more sensible and even ashamed of the treatment he was getting as she knew it was partially her fault. {{book ref|Skyward|31}}
After Hurl’s death, they burry her together and started being friendly to each other. He even helped her with taking the booster to where she asked. He figured out she was building her Poco and encouraged her to be free and defiant. {{book ref|Skyward|31}}
When [[Spensa]] finds about what really happened in the battle of Alta, the only person she opens to is Jorgen. She asks him not to fix but listen. He is able to comfort her. {{book ref|Skyward|44}}
